Always make sure to turn off the electricity powering the   Pump’s electrical outlet and that the Pump is unplugged from its outlet prior to   assembling the unit, unclogging the unit, or making any adjustments to the unit.   If necessary, have a certified electrician install (within 14 feet of where the Pump   will be located) a 120 volt, GFCI electrical outlet that is dedicated only to the   Pump. Any outlet should be well above the water line.   The size of the discharge outlet on the Union (37) is 1-1/2” diameter. Only a   1-1/2” diameter Discharge Pipe (not included) must be used. Do not attempt to   reduce the discharge size below 1-1/2” as this will affect Pump flow and perfor-   mance. (See Figure E, next page.)   SKU 93819   93820   For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353   PAGE 8   Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.   4.   Connect the Union (37) to the Coupler (34). Make sure to hand tighten only.   Over-tightening may cause the Union to crack. Then, connect a 1-1/2” diam-   eter Discharge Pipe to the Union. NOTE: Make sure the Discharge Pipe is   secured to a solid surface, with appropriate hardware (not included), to ensure   the stability of the Pump. (See Figure E.)   5.   6.   Install an additional union (not included) or other means of separating the Dis-   charge Pipe just above the floor to facilitate removal of the Pump if necessary.   (See Figure E.)   A check valve (not included) is recommended just above, or in place of, the   Union to prevent the backflow of water after each pump cycle. If a Check Valve   is used, a 1/8” diameter air bleed hole should be drilled through the Discharge   Pipe just above the lower Union (37) to prevent Pump “airlock”. A small spray of   water out of this hole is normal while the Pump is running. (See Figure E.)   POWER CORD & PLUG   (1)   CHECK VALVE   OR   UNION   (NOT INCLUDED)   1-1/2” DIAMETER   DISCHARGE PIPE   (NOT INCLUDED)   FLOAT   SWITCH LOCK   1/8” AIR BLEED HOLE   (WATER SPRAY IS NORMAL)   UNION   (37)   COUPLER   (34)   FLOAT SWITCH   (2)   FIGURE E   SKU 93819   93820   For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353   PAGE 9   Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.   7.   8.   Carefully set the Pump in place. Do not lower or raise the Pump by its Power   Cord (1) or Discharge Pipe. (See Figure E.)   The Float Switch (2) automatically switches on and off at a water depth of ap-   proximately 4 inches. The ON/OFF height can be manually adjusted by adjusting   the Float Switch Lock. CAUTION: Do not run the Pump dry. Doing so will   increase wear to the unit and possibly cause seal damage. (See Figure E.)   9.   NOTE: This Pump has a built-in thermal protector for the Motor which automati-   cally shuts it off to avoid overheating. After the Motor cools, it will cycle back on.   Wait for the cycle to continue. Do not try to turn on the Pump manually after it   has automatically shut off.   10.   Connect additional Discharge Pipe as needed to direct the water discharge to the   desired location. The discharge should be kept as short as possible with a mini-   mum number of turns. IMPORTANT: Do not exceed the maximum lift of the   Pump:   1 HP Model 93819 = 26 Feet.   1.2 HP Model 93820 = 28 Feet.   11.   12.   Connect the Power Cord & Plug (1) to its 120 volt, GFCI electrical outlet, while   making sure to form a “drip loop” in the Power Cord. (See Figure A.)   When the water level exceeds approximately 4 inches the Pump will   automatically turn on and run continuously until the water level falls below 4   inches at which time the Pump will automatically turn off.   13.   WARNING! When shutting off power to the Pump, always shut off the   electrical power to the GFCI outlet first. Then, disconnect the Pump’s Power   Cord & Plug (1) from the GFCI outlet.   INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE, AND CLEANING   1.   2.   WARNING! Always shut off the electrical power to the GFCI outlet first.   Then, disconnect the Pump’s Power Cord & Plug (1) from the GFCI outlet prior to   performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures.   Before each use, inspect the general condition of the Pump. Check for cracked   or broken parts, damaged electrical wiring, clogged Impeller Cover, Impeller, Dis-   charge Pipes, and any other condition that may affect safe operation. If abnor-   mal noise or vibration occurs, have the problem corrected before further use. Do   not use damaged equipment.   3.   To clean the Impeller Cover and Impeller: A clogged or dirty Impeller Cover   SKU 93819   93820   For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353   PAGE 10   Download from Www.Somanuals.com.
